Zoya Faroqui, she never expected anything from life as everything she got till now is because of her own hard work. But there was a time when she craved for someone's true love
She was an orphan, her life is a clear picture of her struggle. She studied hard to grab her bright future from her dark present as she got scholarship in one of the top college of India
Her life got a little distracted as she came across Asad Ahmed Khan... a perfect picture of a guy for whom any girl would do anything but she was different because she was determined to not to change her path
She was strong enough to concentrate on her goals but sometimes you have no control over your heart... she too faced such phase.. he started to rule over her heart and mind... she was never fond of expensive gifts as she never got any... she use to feel overwhelmed with small yet beautiful gestures of people... and he exactly did that
He asked her out one day and after a lot of hesitation she agreed..that day he treated her like a princess..that day is still fresh in her memory and then what happened later is like it all happened yesterday only
FlashbackHe took her to the stage and they danced on one romantic song...he did everything any guy will do for HIS girl..His Girl? Yes..that's what he called her since he confessed about his liking for her... his every gesture made her feel that she is the most luckiest girl of this world..and that's when she too confessed to him about her feelings for him
That whole night she kept thinking about them thus next day while getting ready for college she realized that she had to complete her project by today..she spend half of her day in library working over her project not receiving his calls as she wanted to concentrate only on the project and he was like a distraction as talking to him every time she felt herself to be In different world
Feeling a little low she took break and went to canteen to have something where she noticed a huge crowd, She wouldn't have payed any attention at it all if she wouldn't had heard her name being taken..curious to know she stayed back and in no time she witnessed her beautiful world crashing brutally in front of her
'So finally asad won' tanveer said jumping up and down and asad smirked 'yes' farhan replied pulling faces 'making such face won't help farhan..you lost..and if we remember you promised to throw a huge party for everyone if asad will win' tanveer reminded him and everyone cheered in response 'asad she really did confess? zoya seems like a different girl' humaira asked 'of course she did humaira..now stop feeling pity over that not so important girl..asad won the bet..he made her fall In love for him and that's what the bet was about..right guyz?' Tanveer asked loudly and everyone shouted yes
'she is such a clever woman..all the time she behaves so shy shy but look what kind of girl she is..seriously she is such a b..' 'shut up farhan..you shouldn't insult her like that, we had a deal and i won.. there is nothing to do with her character' asad Said cutting him off and humaira gave him a confused look 'you good for nothing people played with her feelings and still you are talking sh*t about that poor girl.. just don't blame her for the evilness you guyz carry within yourselves..i won't forgive you all for this ever' humaira said 'I am with humaira..you guyz did wrong' ayaan said
'you guyz are getting over dramatic..we had a bet that I will make zoya fall in love with me... and when I finally won you guys are trying to spoil my victory..' 'if I ever had any slightest idea that what's cooking up In between you evil people I would have saved zoya that moment only but I was unaware..but now that I know I won't let you people hurt her..' humaira said and ayaan also supported her
There was a pin drop silence when a painful sob was heard from the other side..every one turned in the direction and there she stood, zoya, broken beyond repair..she had tears in her eyes but she took a deep breath and wiped her tears away, she came towards asad 'thank you Asad Ahmed Khan..thank you for making me face the reality once again..' she said 'will you ple...' tanveer started but zoya cut her off 'I am not done yet..you know asad you never knew about my life
in bhopal..you never asked and now I realized why
I am an orphan..someone who lost her parents when She was barely 6 months old..I was brought up in an orphanage.. I needed to get out of there not because they didn't cared for me but because I needed to achieve my goals because i needed to find my happiness and someone who will love me who will make me realize that I do deserve love and happiness
I got this scholarship and leaving my life In Bhopal I came here to search my happiness, it was not an easy task but I knew how to struggle..did that all my life' she chuckled and wiped one lone tear from her eyes 'I never had any friend but that was okay, I had some different aims in life and it needed concentration not distraction
But then you entered in my life without my permission..even though you were never a part of my life and dreams but still you became one... your sweet gesture, your care, it made me happy...you for the first time I felt special... you told me that may be other than struggle I deserve happiness too... I felt as if Allah is going to make things better for me..I started to live in a dream, a dream which was a big lie in reality
But thank you, for making me face the reality before I would have lose myself in this fakeness of yours... thank you for getting me close to my aims and goals, now I promise you that I will get what I want Thank you' wiping her one last tear she stepped back, giving him one painful smile she turned and walked away with humaira and ayaan following her
Asad stood there still but zoya never got to know how her words affected him or may be It did even made him realize about his crime..may be!!
flashback endThat day she became stronger, her aim became her strength..if sometimes she used to feel like a fallen leaf she use to shed tears of anguish and pain but every time she slept after crying, every time she woke up with stronger determination
She didn't leave college neither she stopped herself from facing him..just her soft heart turned hard and impossible to crack... she never had friends before but later she got ayaan and humaira..they become her life as they did everything one family member will do for you
She hated asad but heartily thanked him for bringing humaira and ayaan in her life..today after 9 years of struggle she is a doctor, a successful Cardiothoracic Surgeon, she has achieved a lot in a young age just because of her goals and the forgotten heart break..
***
It was yet another day which went by in same way, but later at night when she was getting ready for bed she got a call from hospital regarding an emergency..it was a heart bypass surgery
She rushed back to hospital unaware of what was going to come in her life..it was a lady suffering from the attack, and like always the surgery was successfully done... Getting fresh she decided to meet the family of patient Mrs.Khan... she saw one young man sitting outside the bench of OT with his hands in hairs and his head down 'Mr.Khan' she called out softly but when he looked up her whole world took a different turn... it was him, The Asad Ahmed Khan... the person who helped her reach such heights but at the cause of her heartbreak and her feelings...
She couldn't make it out through his reaction that what was he thinking but she did remind herself that who she is and what she is doing here... clearing her throat she adressed him in one most calmed tune 'Mr.Khan please relax, your mother is fine now, she is sleeping under the effects of medicine and you will be able to meet her by morning' she finished and plastering one last smile walked away from there
**
That day what she went through made her feel like being in hell... she never wished to come across him, not even in such situation
he was one caring son, whenever she visited Mrs.Khan he was always there, his eyes not leaving her even for a nano second but she too was experienced in masking her emotions and inner turmoil very well
Next one week was a torture as it became worst for her as she came across his friends too..nikhat and imran were married and tanveer and farhan still were in same cheap relationship... while she chatted with imran and nikhat nicely, the other three didn't existed for her at all...
her confidence rose to another notch when ayaan and humaira came to see her once... they helped her in cheering her mood, giving cold shoulders to farhan and tanveer, they ignored asad completely but were happy to meet imran and nikhat
Finally after a whole week his mother got discharged, releasing her from the torture..no doubt that it was tough but she succeeded
**A promise means "Everything" but once it is broken "sorry" means nothing
As her duty hours were over, she left for her house, she was badly tired and needed sleep after one week of sleepless nights but once again some unexpected thing happened..asad was waiting for her outside the hospital
'Zoya' he called out but she kept walking 'zoya listen to me..' he yelled yet again, she closed her eyes to ignore him completely but gasped as he held her hand pulling her back to him..she landed in his arms as he pulled her with such a force
Taking few urgent breaths she calmed herself down and then stepped back from him 'what the hell do you want from me Mr.Khan?' She yelled with her voice filled with rage 'zoya I..' 'it's doctor Farooqui' 'we aren't at hospital zoya' 'exactly, this is not a hospital neither I am your ami's doctor so it's better that you stay away from me' she pointed out sharply 'but I need to talk to you about..' 'about what Mr.Khan... about my broken heart or my dead soul? About your betrayal or my success? About that dreadful day or my painful childhood? Tell me..about what?' she asked
'Zoya listen' he raised his hand to hold her but she stepped away giving him an angry glare, he raised his hand up to surrender and continued 'zoya I want to say sorry... zoya I know I was wrong... I know I have hurt you and I am sorry for that... can't you just forgive me and move on?' He requested and she chuckled on this request
'Dream On Mr.Khan..you are wrong I have forgotten everything the day it happened..and about forgiving you Mr.Khan I just don't let every other person to enter in my life, my life revolve around ayaan, humaira and my work... other people or things don't really effect me so with what right do I get angry on you or forgive you? You are no one in my life..' she spoke up harshly 'now if you are done i am leaving... Good Bye and hope not to see you again..'
She finished and turned to leave when he held her hand yet again stopping her 'I know that you don't want to see my face but I really want you to know th... that zoya I love you... I really do, from the first time I talked to you... zoya those 6 months were the only beautiful memories I have, zoya I have loved you only but that time my ego didn't let me accept it..I am sorry zoya, please give me one chance to mend it all' he pleaded
Tears formed in her eyes but she didn't let them fall 'you couldn't accept your love because of your ego that time and broke my heart but roles are reversed this time Mr.Khan as my ego won't let me accept that long lost love of mine and thus I am breaking your heart in that same way... ' she said and freed herself from his hold
He didn't knew what to do or to say but zoya knew 'It can't be mended Asad Ahmed Khan... it can't...' she said and walked away leaving him on his own...Asad wiped the tears that rolled down his cheeks as he took in the feeling of one broken heart... the same feeling with which she spend all her life... the same feeling was now his and she had moved on
